Tasting Notes
"The nose begins soft with grass, lemon, and mild honey at the front moving through to hay and resin further behind. Oily, sweet tree sap comes in through the end, lending the whisky a darker nose than the color lets on. The palate is more resinous than the nose at first, souring with small tart apples and citric lemon. A small hint of smoke fades quickly with a tiny topsoil-peat influence. A slightly sour and puckering mouthfeel follows ending in a long finish."
